Lola's POV

I untangled myself from the covers so I could sit up and stretch. The clock on my bedside table read 6:03 am, the sun is only beginning to rise. I quietly pulled a t shirt off of the floor and crept over to the bay window in my bedroom, if I was awake I may as well watch the sun rise. As I sat on the bench beneath the window watching the sun rise over the buildings surrounding mine I thought about my night with Niall, who was still asleep in my bed.

Niall and I got back to my apartment and the second the door was shut clothes went flying, I think my dress was still in the living room. I went on a date with one guy and brought another one home, if you told me that 12 hours ago I wouldn't have believed you. But I wouldn't change it for anything, I had an amazing night with Niall. 

"Good morning darlin'." Niall's raspy morning voice broke my train of thought. I felt him sit behind me, allowing me to lean back and rest my head on his chest while we looked out of the window.

"Good morning." I whispered back, enjoying his presence behind me. We sat quietly and just watched the sun rise in front of us and we didn't move until the sun completely filled my bedroom. 

"Are you hungry?" Niall asked me once we stood up. He was in nothing but his boxers and I was wearing his white t-shirt from the night before. 

"Starving." I laughed, and without another word Niall was off to the kitchen to make us breakfast. I sat on the counter top and watched Niall make us some pancakes from scratch. When he was finished he handed me a plate full of pancakes and sat on the counter top next to me with his plate.

"Thanks for cooking." I mumbled while I ate the most delicious pancakes I have ever had. After breakfast Niall and I went back into my bedroom so we could get dressed. He needed to be somewhere at 10 am and had to go back to his hotel room first. 

"I hope you had a good time last night." Niall said. We were now completely dressed and sitting on the edge of my bed.

"I really did. You saved my night from being a total bust." I laughed, I was beginning to forget the terrible date that started my night.

"Happy to do it, Lola." Niall had this something about him that kept drawing me closer to him. I was never one for one night stands, I had one in college and it was a terrible experience but this felt totally different. I really hope that this wouldn't be the last time I see or hear from Niall.

"I will call you later." Niall said as if he was just reading my mind, and then left one gentle kiss on my lips. I pulled him in closer for a longer, more passionate kiss, not wanting the moment to end. "I promise."

"I'll hold you to that promise." I smiled. I walked Niall out of my apartment and shut the door behind him. 

I spent the rest of the day cleaning up and watching tv until Paige called me mid day to come over and hang out with her and Brandon. They have a pool in the house they bought together so I assume that that's what we would be doing. When I arrived I walked in the front door and went straight outside, Paige was tanning on a lounge chair and Brandon was in the pool. I pulled my cover up off and laid down on the chair next to Paige so we can talk.

"You never texted me back last night where did you go after our date?" Paige asked me straight away. Even though we've only knew each other for a couple years we spend so much time together that she knew me like the back of her hand, and vice versa. 

"To be honest, I met someone after you guys left last night. He was sitting at the table behind us and came up to me outside the restaurant, we spent the rest of the night together." I told Paige the story of the night before from right after her and Brandon left.

"Did he leave last night or this morning?" Paige asked, pulling her sunglasses away from her eyes so she could look at me. 

"This morning. We both woke up early and watched the sun rise from the window bench in my bedroom." I thought back to the blissful morning I spent with someone who was a stranger to me less than 24 hours ago. Let alone a world famous musician who was in the biggest boyband in the world.

"Oh no way. Do you have a picture I can see?" Paige sat up in her chair so she could look at anything I would show her.

"Well you can look it up if you would like to." I laughed at her confused face, she had no idea what was coming next. "It was Niall Horan." 

"The one from One Direction?" Brandon yelled from across the pool, obviously listening in on our conversation from his float.

"Yes that one, I-"

"You are living every single teenage girls dream right now." Paige laughed. "Did you get his number?"

"He's calling me toni- well actually he's calling me right now hang on."
